I Read 300+ Shoe Reviews on Nordstrom—These 20 Styles Are Worth Your Time

Yep, I've done it: I went through over 50 pages of Nordstrom shoes to find the ones actually worth your time. While I swear by Nordstrom to find all of my favorite trends and seasonal staples, the sheer amount of product can be overwhelming. That's why I spent my entire weekend scrolling through Nordstrom's shoe section to find the best pairs instead of going out to dinner or happy hour.

I've rounded up 20 ballet flats, heels, sneakers, and loafers with detailed reviews to browse though, from editor-beloved styles to comfortable yet chic pairs. According to reviews, these are some of the best shoes, period.
